- you can remap the maximize viewport to any button you want.
-you can download the 30 day tril of xsi 7.0 essential with full functionality ,instead of mod tools.

-sweet :attn:
-sweeter :attn:
-i know but the mod tool wont allow such hearsay
-sounds like a good plan, other than the trial being less than the duration of the project, but i guess i can finish it all in 30 days, it isnt much i have to do... how hard can it be to learn to animate while piled with many other things? all the models exist anyway, and they have their weights. I'm sure xsi will make it quick and easy 
-my machine sucks balls :angery:
i was meant to learn xsi earlier this year, but i ran out of time and had to start with my dissertation...
oh well
